Happiness

January 15, 2007 •

I found this at a small antique shop in central Illinois. As I was paying the shop owner, he asked me the question that I always get from antique dealers. 'What kind of photos do you look for?". I looked at him and tried to come up with an easy explaination of vernacular photography. Instead of a long winded speech I just said to him "Photos that make you feel something".

That's what it's all about.
